Shalon

Chapter 23 - To Lose the Sun

Shalon

Shalon rides awkwardly behind Harine, observing the Aes Sedai with a sailor's eye for hierarchy and subtle power plays. She notes Harine's strange compliance with Sarene and listens to Sarene's explanation of Far Madding's unique ter'angreal. As the group enters the city and the Source vanishes, Shalon feels a profound sense of emptiness and fear, realizing how dependent she has become on the Power.

Chapter 24 - Among the Counsels

Shalon

Shalon struggles with the sensory deprivation of Far Madding's source-blocking ter'angreal while observing the city's architecture and the reactions of her companions to the First Counsel. She listens to Kumira's explanation of the dome's guardian mechanism and Verin's confrontation with Aleis, eventually agreeing to her sister Harine's request to spy on Cadsuane's intentions regarding the local politics.
